Abstract

This analysis examines how network news makes sense of the homeless. We interpret three conventional news narratives and a 60 Minutes story about Joyce Brown, a homeless woman who, against her will, was institutionalized by the city of New York. We examine then how television news marks boundaries between the marginal and the mainstream, between a major socioeconomic problem demanding collective engagement and a personal problem requiring private remedy.
